Hi All,
2010 FX 450, about 30 hrs. on it. I washed the bike and started her up, and now hear a new valve tapping noise that I have never heard before. The wash could be a coincidence. However, I saw this post in a Valve Adjustment thread:

Fine sand in airfilter?
Do you often hose your bike under high pressure but afterwards do not swap out the wet airfilter?
I know I am a bit anal, but I will never start my bike after washing with a wet airfilter. I did this also not with my RMZ nor DRZ and I never had valves out of spec.
What would water have to do with valves?
Thanks,
Jeff
